Tea Recipes: January Edition

After water, tea is the most consumed beverage in the world. But there are many different ways to enjoy tea other than just by drinking it. Recently we had a staff wide challenge to create recipes that used tea as a major ingredient. Over the next few months we'll be positing these creations, one savory and one sweet, for your enjoyment. This month we have Dark Forest Pork Loin and Black Wolf Cake.

Bake for 28-30 minutes, check with toothpick through center of cake for doneness

Spread berry compote on top of the thin frosting layer
